For a [[TMG7800]] system that contains multiple telecom units, it is recommended to load share the line interfaces between providers. This will make your service fault tolerant. This is the same principle as the [[Redundancy_%26_High_Availability:Software:Signaling_Protocols#TMG7800|signaling protocol]] load sharing.

Here is an example of a [[TMG7800]] that load shares its [[DS3_interfaces|DS3]] interfaces to create a service fault tolerant system.

The service is still available even if a telecom unit fails

== [[STM-1|STM-1/OC-3]] ==

The [[STM-1|STM-1/OC-3]] is the only inherently redundant line interface. TelcoBridges [[TMG7800-STM1]] and [[TMG3200-STM1]] support [[STM-1:Automatic_Protection_Switching|APS]].
